I have loaded a mesh .x whit texture in direct3d. Now, how can i do to release LPDIRECT3DTEXTURE9* because if I call the function Release() i getted this error: error C2227: left of '->Release' must point to class/struct/union/generic type.
Thanks and sorry for my bad English.

LPDIRECT3DTEXTURE9 is IDirect3DTexture9*
so
LPDIRECT3DTEXTURE9* is IDirect3DTexture9**

IDirect3DTexture9** tex; tex->Release();//error C2227
IDirect3DTexture9* tex; tex->Release();

IDirect3DTexture9 * will simply hold a single texture, since you are using x files; IDirect3DTexture9 ** will hold array of textures. You have to loop through that array of texture and then free that textures; here's how it's done:

for(DWORD dwTextureCount = 0; [/background][/color][color=#282828]dwTextureCount [/color][color=#282828][background=rgb(250, 251, 252)]< m_dwNumOfMeshMaterials; dwSubCount++)
{[/background][/color]
     [color=#282828][background=rgb(250, 251, 252)]// Free the corresponding memory of the scene mesh textures[/background][/color]
     [color=#282828][background=rgb(250, 251, 252)]if([/background][/color][color=#282828][background=rgb(250, 251, 252)]m_ppD3DSceneMeshTexture[[/background][/color][color=#282828]dwTextureCount[/color][color=#282828][background=rgb(250, 251, 252)]])[/background][/color]
     [color=#282828][background=rgb(250, 251, 252)]{[/background][/color]
  	    [color=#282828][background=rgb(250, 251, 252)]m_ppD3DSceneMeshTexture[[/background][/color][color=#282828]dwTextureCount[/color][color=#282828][background=rgb(250, 251, 252)]]->Release();[/background][/color]
	      [color=#282828][background=rgb(250, 251, 252)]m_ppD3DSceneMeshTexture[[/background][/color][color=#282828]dwTextureCount[/color][color=#282828][background=rgb(250, 251, 252)]] = NULL;[/background][/color]
     [color=#282828][background=rgb(250, 251, 252)]}[/background][/color]     
[color=#282828][background=rgb(250, 251, 252)]}

m_dwNumOfMeshMaterials: Number of materials of that corresponding mesh

err...posting it again...

for(DWORD dwTextureCount = 0; dwTextureCount < m_dwNumOfMeshMaterials; dwSubCount++)
{
if(m_ppD3DSceneMeshTexture[dwTextureCount])
{
// Free the corresponding memory of the scene mesh textures
m_ppD3DSceneMeshTexture[dwTextureCount]->Release();
m_ppD3DSceneMeshTexture[dwTextureCount] = NULL;
}
}

Thanks...now it works perfectly
